"Wonderful" [SMILE version]
(Brian Wilson / Van Dyke Parks)
Verse 1:
C# [L.B: B Bb Ab] B Abm7
She be---longs there left with her liberty
Never known as a non-believer
She laughs and stays in the Won- won-won-wonderful
[L.B: E F# Ab Bb B]
Verse 2:
C# [L.B: B Bb Ab] B Abm7
She knew how to gather the forest when
God reached softly and moved her body
One golden locket, quite young and loving
Her mother and father
Verse 3:
Farther down the path was a mystery
Through the recess, the chalk and numbers
A boy bumped into her wonderful
Verse 4:
All fall down and lost in her mystery
Lost it all to a non-believer
And all that's left is a girl who's loved by
Her mother and father
Verse 5:
She'll return in love with her liberty
Just away from the non-believer
She'll sigh and thank God for wonderful
N.B.: I suspect that this is actually played in D on a harpsichord tuned
down a semi-tone (i.e., A=415):
[D A]

/ / / / / / / /

[L.B: F G A B C]
[D A]
/ / / / / / / /
/ / / / / / / /
/ / / / / / / /
/ / / / / / / /
...but to further confound the issue, it's in C on the "I Just Wasn't
Made For These Times" soundtrack:
[C G]
/ / / / / / / /

[L.B: Eb F G A Bb]
[C G]
